AVB not worried by Chelsea Hiddink speculation

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is not worried that former Blues' interim coach Guus Hiddink is available after being released from his contract with Turkey. AVB thinks his position is not under threat at Stamford Bridge and is happy with the way things are progressing.

Guus Hiddink is widely regarded to be one of the finest coaches in world football, and is also a close friend of Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea owner.


Andre Villas-Boas had been questioned on what he thought about the availability of Hiddink, and whether he thought his own position was under threat at Stamford Bridge.


“Guus had a very important period at the club and made the necessary changes first to take this club to another semi-final, plus an FA Cup and a good period of only one defeat in 15 games,” said Villas-Boas.


“But it was six months at the club. It does not mean that he can always be as successful as that in a club of this dimension of tremendous expectations.


“Guus is one of the top managers in the world, a manager that is always available when a top team arises but at the moment this is not a vacancy, so it is not a vacancy to be taken, but when it is a vacancy I am sure he will be one of the top candidates.”
